Half a small target of poison damage?

"This equipment!!"

Chen Ming stared at the [Fallen Blades] in the hands of the [Fallen Warriors], his eyes shining.

To him, the [Fallen Blade] naturally wasn't anything special, but the problem was that there were simply too many of them.

There must be hundreds of thousands.

"If I enhance and enchant all these [Fallen Blades], I could build a special legion of warriors!"

Mumbling softly to himself, Chen Ming couldn't help but let a smile creep onto his lips.

The [Fallen Blade] could deal an additional 5% true damage with every attack.

One or two might not be much.

But if they were distributed to a legion on a large scale, the power they could unleash would be unimaginable.

At this thought, Chen Ming grinned. "This Land of Corruption really is a blessed land for me."

With those words, Chen Ming activated [30% Authority of the God of Ten Thousand Beasts]. In an instant, a dense army of bosses manifested around him.

"Kill!"

"Slaughter them all."

With Chen Ming's command, the boss army swarmed out, clashing with the endless [Fallen Warriors] ahead.

Although these [Fallen Warriors] were buffed by the [Fallen Blades] and their attributes had significantly increased...

...it was a pity that the rank of the boss army far surpassed theirs.

In fact, the power gap between the two sides was so vast that numbers alone couldn't bridge it.

This battle was less of a fight and more of a blatant massacre.

The boss army completely swept through the fallen army with absolute dominance.

"Swish, swish, swish!!"

Chen Ming wasn't idle either; arrows flew from his hands like a torrential storm, claiming the lives of swaths of [Fallen Warriors] with every shot.

Throughout the process, the toxin damage from the [Source of All Evil] continued to stack.

The size of the boss army also grew steadily amidst the slaughter.

Not only that, but with every [Fallen Warrior] killed, a wisp of gray energy would seep from their corpses and merge into the [fallen treasure chest] in Chen Ming's hand.

[Ding! The quality of the [fallen treasure chest] has been upgraded to Legendary-Grade...]

[Ding! The quality of the [fallen treasure chest] has been upgraded to Mythical-Grade...]

...In less than an hour, hundreds of thousands of [Fallen Warriors] were completely wiped out.

Behind Chen Ming, the number of the boss legion had shockingly expanded to a staggering 650,000.

Of this 650,000-strong boss army, over 500,000 were [Fallen Warriors].

And all these [Fallen Warriors] were equipped with [Fallen Blades] that dealt true damage.

Under the enhancement and enchantment of Chen Ming's Forbidden Talent, the quality of these [Fallen Blades] had all been upgraded to Dark Gold Grade.

The additional true damage had jumped from the original 5% to 20%, and each attack now also carried a fixed 500 points of true damage.

"With the current overall strength of the boss legion, they could probably easily crush even Tier 9 players."

Mumbling softly, Chen Ming was in a great mood.

Not just because of the dual increase in the boss legion's quantity and strength.

But also because the toxin damage from the [Source of All Evil] had directly risen to a staggering 850,000 points after this slaughter.

With the [Toxin Frenzy] buff, that reached an incredible 1,020,000 points.

The stacks had reached 56.

This meant that once fully stacked, the [Source of All Evil] could deal 57,120,000 points of toxin damage per second to enemies.

This damage was simply ridiculous.

Half a small goal per second.

Never mind that Chen Ming was only Tier 3 right now; even Tier 7 or Tier 8 players might not be able to deal such staggering damage in a single second.

"Badass!"

Chen Ming grinned and immediately recalled the entire boss legion back into [30% Authority of the God of Ten Thousand Beasts].

Having finished this, Chen Ming turned and continued deeper into the City of Corruption.

Behind him, Unknown Soul Entity watched everything with a dazed expression.

Good grief!

Hundreds of thousands of [Fallen Warriors] wielding [Fallen Blades], wiped out in less than an hour.

Is this guy really human?

Thinking this, Unknown Soul Entity subconsciously swallowed, feeling immensely lucky that he hadn't provoked this monster before.

*Clop, clop, clop!!*

With the [Fallen Warriors] completely eliminated, the entire City of Corruption became incredibly quiet.

Only the sound of Chen Ming's and Unknown Soul Entity's footsteps echoed through the ancient city.

The two of them advanced along the city's main road and soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Ming looked up; the City Lord's Mansion of the City of Corruption was a magnificent high tower.

The tower was pitch black, and at its peak floated a special "disc."

According to the quest prompts for the [Supreme] quest, the final boss of the City of Corruption—the Fallen City Lord—was located within the 'disc' atop this tower.

With that thought, Chen Ming didn't hesitate and walked straight inside.

Upon entering the tower, what met his eyes was floor after floor of stairs.

"This place feels..."

"...so familiar!!"

Unknown Soul Entity, who had been following Chen Ming, couldn't help but murmur after entering.

Chen Ming gave him a faint glance but said nothing.

Instead, he summoned the Ice Abyss Dragon from his pet space.

"Roar, roar!!"

Accompanied by a resonant dragon roar, Chen Ming leaped onto the Ice Abyss Dragon's back, and then soared into the sky, heading straight for the [disc] at the top of the tower.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Unknown Soul Entity hurriedly called out and followed.

*Whoosh, whoosh!!*

With the wind whistling in his ears, Chen Ming rode the Ice Abyss Dragon, quickly piercing through the clouds and arriving at the disc atop the tower.

This 'disc' area didn't look very large from below, but once up there, he discovered its area was terrifyingly vast, as large as a hundred football fields combined.

Moreover, it was surrounded by a hazy gray mist that made it difficult to see clearly.

"Swish!!"

Suddenly, a blood-red gaze shot out from the gray mist.

A low, raspy voice came from within the mist.

"Human?"

"The long years have passed; it has been a long time since any living being has set foot in my city."

Chen Ming looked in the direction of the voice.

Within the hazy gray mist, an ancient throne slowly emerged.

Upon the throne sat a magnificent figure, sitting upright and solemn.

The figure was over three meters tall, clad in black armor and wearing a gray crown, with an ancient Royal Greatsword resting point-down on the ground.

This figure was none other than the target of the [Supreme] quest—the Fallen City Lord.

With just one glance, Chen Ming noticed a palm-sized ancient key hanging from the Fallen City Lord's waist.

"Human, tell me..."

"...what is your purpose here!!"

...
